Edith Falls (Katherine)

Wednesday, May 27

We broke camp early as we intended to drive through to Katherine over 400km’s east of Kununurra.

We stopped at the WA/NT border for a quick picture noticing in the back ground new signs advising that a 110km/h speed limit applies throughout the NT closely follow by a sign reading speed limit 130km/h. Both ironic and hypocritical as I remembered when the NT ALP government introduced the 130km/h limit it was suppose to replace the open speed limits throughout the NT. Hence, it should read a 130km/h speed limit applies throughout the NT.

Upon reaching Katherine, we fuelled up and headed a further 60km’s towards Darwin stopping at Edith Falls. None of us had stayed here since parks had opened up the new camping facilities. Most of us remembered camping on the bank of the pool with camp fires etc. We had bought fire wood with us have read that it wasn’t available at the park and were disappointed to learn that fires were banned. This didn’t stop a large party camped near by having a fire.
